People and internet technology expert

Summary

Currently researching business digitization at University of Turku, while working as a private ICT consultant and web developer for small businesses. I'm happy and considerate, and get excited about new technologies.

My interests in philosophy, technology and psychology come together in working with information processes, which include both people and ICT. Having worked as a programmer, IT architect, consultant, teacher and ICT leader, I enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex problems and can often find new perspectives to the work.

I'm able to work in teams and love learning new things. My hobbies include meditation, gadgets, reading, gaming and various types of exercise.
